As always
Apple has come up with some stunning cool features with the iPhone 7 release.
The use of Airpods (wireless headphones) with any phone is unprecedented. Apple
has made available Airpods with iPhone 7 to enable hassle free headphone usage.
iPhone 7 has a 4.7-inch Retina HD display while iPhone 7 Plus has a 5.5-inch
display.
The phones are made
from aluminium and come in five colours - silver, gold, rose gold, black,
(which has a matte appearance), and "jet black", (which has a
high-gloss look).
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
– Cool Features
Water-Resistance
Both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are water resistance. Apple claims that
these devices can be immersed in water to a depth of 1 metre and have an IP67
rating.
Upgraded Camera
Both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have upgraded cameras. The iPhone 7 has a 12-megapixel wide angle camera, which
Apple claims is 60% faster and 30% more energy-efficient than previous models,
and has 4 LEDS in the flash.
The iPhone 7 Plus has an additional telephoto camera, which together
with the standard 12-megapixel wide angle camera offers optical zoom at two
times and up to 10 times digital zoom for photos.
Wireless Headphones
Apple has an edge over
its rivals with its wireless headphone feature. The most controversial thing
about iPhone release this year is that it does not have headphone socket.In
place of the old headphone jack, Apple has added a second speaker, so sound is
two times louder than iPhone 6s.
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus
will ship with a pair of wired headphones that plug into the charging port on
the bottom of the device, as well as an adaptor for people who want to hang
onto their old headphones.
Apple has also launched
a pair of wireless headphones, called AirPods, which are available to buy for an additional £159
